Up for sale is my Grand Seiko SBGX291, a silver-dial, new-branding, anti-magnetic 9F quartz watch. The watch is 5 months old and I am the original owner, it is a Japan Domestic Market only model and was bought from Seiyajapan. The watch has 19 months of Grand Seiko international warranty remaining.

The 9F quartz movement has lost half a second during my 5 month period of ownership. To the best of my ability to determine with the naked eye, the second hand also hits every marker dead-on. There are some light desk-diving marks on the bracelet, and minor scuffs near the screw-holes on the sides of a few links from resizing the bracelet. There is also one scratch on a lug near 5 o'clock, I've taken a macro shot to show this as clearly as possible, although the brushed surface of this lug means it's actually quite difficult to see in person.

Included with the sale are the Grand Seiko boxes (inner and outer), original bracelet (sized for a 7" wrist) and spare links, tags, warranty booklet and instruction manual. Also included are 5 after-market straps (which for 19mm lugs were quite a mission to source), which include:

I'm asking $2,000 USD for the watch, which includes worldwide shipping with insurance and Paypal fees for a member with references. Local pickup in Sydney CBD is also available. I'm not looking at trades for this watch at this stage. I've got plenty of buyer/seller feedback on Head-Fi (my other hobby) as well as some here, so you can buy with confidence:

The company was founded in 1881, when Kintarō Hattori opened a watch and jewelry shop called "K. Hattori" (服部時計店 Hattori Tokeiten?) in the Ginza area of Tokyo, Japan. Eleven years later, in 1892, he began to produce clocks under the name Seikosha (精工舎 Seikōsha?), meaning roughly "House of Exquisite Workmanship". According to Seiko's official company history, titled "A Journey In Time: The Remarkable Story of Seiko" (2003), Seiko is a Japanese word meaning "exquisite" or "success" ("exquisite" is usually written 精巧 from Chinese jīngqiǎo, while the meaning "success" is usually written 成功 from Chinese chénggōng).

Seiko is perhaps best known for its wristwatches, all of which were at one time produced entirely in-house. This includes not only major items such as microgears, motors, hands, crystal oscillators, batteries, sensors, LCDs but also minor items such as the oils used in lubricating the watches and the luminous compounds used on the hands and the dials.
